I don't doubt other pools have a fee. You missed my point completely. If I mine at a pool and earn some coin, then it should be 'automatically' paid - without waiting for some guy who is busy with his other job to say - yeah you can have your coin now. If running a pool and working a job is too much - pick one and do it properly.

[edit]
If your implication is that wk does this 'pool' thing out of the goodness of his heart and makes no money out of it all then 93.53% share reward? Shelved shares. Come on... There's 6%+ fees right there.

I get your point.

It isn't 6% fees.  If you understood the algorithm, you would know that.

Dude I like your posts too - maybe I'm having a bad day - but this pool is shrinking and I'm not surprised...

I think pool op should instate mandatory 1% fee.  

I saw someone the other day with 60TH/s on here.  He linked his payout address.  0% donation.  0%!!!

There is no fee at all. Nobody got the 6% you're "missing". You wouldn't have got 6% more on another pool.
That 6% is lost before any fees due to bad luck.

That's why I stopped mining here because you are constantly 'begging' for your rightful payout which should be 'automatic' like it is in other respected pools.
It's automatic here too. It doesn't change anything when you beg because it isn't on your schedule...
If it's automatic here too - why am I waiting 2 weeks plus for my 'manual' payment? And still not in the queue. I work hard too so I know how that is. But if I chose to run a pool then I would 'run' a pool. If I couldn't manage my job and the pool, then I would pick one and do it properly.
It requires a manual payout because it's so little an amount (under $5 worth!) that it would overload buggy miners to generate to it.
If you're so starved that you can't wait a few months for $5, then you shouldn't be mining...

This is correct.
then 93.53% share reward? Shelved shares. Come on...

Luke, I respect your posts mostly but you cannot defend this out of some kind of misguided loyalty.

Hi.  Quick post.

Yes, still alive. Yes, pool is fine. Yes, have been keeping up with maintenance and ongoing DDoS mitigation.  Yes, I've been extremely overworked the past month or so to the point where I'm seeking alternative enployment.  Yes, th e payout queue is a little long, but fixes I have in place have kept it from growing out of control. No, I haven't had time to do a manual catch up recently, sorry.  Yes, I've been putting the little time I have towards maintenance and updates behind the scenes and less on forums and IRC.

Long story short, pool is fine and is being maintained.

Thanks for the update wiz. But unfortunately no word about NMC. What's the schedule?

Good to hear.  I also just upped my power by about 20 times, and was wondering about the long payout queue, while at 95GH I was never in it for more than a few blocks, but now I am seeing waits of as much as .4BTC above payout threshold.  If I raise the threshold a bit will this reduce the time between payouts?  Or will it be just the same, and I'll still be paid out once I hit the .4 or .5 bitcoin mark as I have recently, regardless of the threshhold (assuming I set it to less than that amount of BTC)?

If you raise the threshold then it will take longer for you to hit the threshold, but your position in the queue will be lower whenever you do hit it.

If you set your threshold so that you expect to hit the threshold every ~7 days, you will probably never have to wait more than a block or two for the payout once you enter the queue.

If you set your threshold so that you expect to hit the threshold every ~12 hours, you could easily find yourself at the bottom of a long queue and have to wait another 12-24 hours to actually receive your payout, after hitting your threshold.

Higher threshold = lower variance for payouts (front of queue; you will always be first in line)
Lower threshold = higher variance for payouts (bottom of queue; you will start at the end of the line and have to wait to move up)

Don't look at my signature!
wizkid057's been spotty, but I did talk to him a bit today.
He's been overworked at his day job lately.

Please do not work so hard.  You can't take bitcoins to the grave.
Isn't that what "cold storage" is for?

Anyone in NY using Optimum having issues getting to Eligius to mine? I can get to the website and 2 of my miners on another network are working no problem but the cable one cannot. It gets to BTC and EMC no problem, but not the Eligius.

Please do not use Opium. It is not good for you.

My last payout started out with 120 or so block queue.  It quickly diminished however.

M

huh?  120 blocks backlogged?  How about 120 btc backlog maybe???
